Voices & Visions ("V&V") is a full-service corporate video production company serving organizations of all sizes. While V&V specializes in the financial services sector and particularly private equity, we also work with clients in a large spectrum of industries. V&V works as a team member with clients' marketing, IR and other staff, handling every aspect of production requested, from conceptualiza
tion in pre-production to field production on location globally to post-production services, including transcription, translation, scriptwriting, motion graphics, animations, editing, color correction, audio sweetening, and formatting of final files. Over the last several years V&V has won two silver Telly Awards (bestowed on only 7-10% of over 12,000 entrants), a Summit Award, a platinum Hermes and a gold Hermes. V&V is based in LA, but we film in locations around the world. V&V’s principals are Ellen Friedland and Curt Fissel, a producer and director (respectively) of ten documentaries, including eight for PBS audiences and two that were/are being featured in many film festivals internationally, with screenings in festivals such as Vail, Santa Barbara, Sedona, Palm Beach, and Newport Beach. Prior to working in this industry, Ellen was an attorney who began her career serving as a law clerk to USDJ Irving Ben Cooper in the Southern District of NY, after which she was a consultant to the NJ Bioethics Commission then a political reporter for a weekly newspaper. Curt was the chief photographer and manager of news and documentary staff for NJN (NJ’s PBS station) for almost two decades. Our graphic designer Lori Newman has many years of experience in high-end motion graphics and animation, and our writer/producer Andi Cooper has a long history as a marketing manager with large corporate entities. The V&V team weaves our collective backgrounds together to create high quality videos grounded in a depth of understanding about each client and the goals of the productions we are asked to craft as their partners.
